For driving pleasure and excitement, one may consider the Renault Rafale SUV coupe. For customers looking for a spacious car geared towards family driving, look no further than the 2025 Renault Espace.

A facelift of the sixth-generation Espace, which was released two years ago, the 2025 variant offers a choice of five or seven seats and gains significant upgrades in both technology and comfort.

Built at the Palencia plant in Spain, the 2025 Renault Espace will be available in several European countries before the third quarter of 2025

Inside, the 2025 Espace sports the largest Solarbay opacifying glass roof in the range alongside an innovative driver recognition system. It also gains upgrades to its ergonomic front seats, upholstery, and soundproofing, as well as an exclusive Light Sand Grey interior. The car is also the first in the Renault range to use driver recognition via a camera in the left-hand A-pillar, which will be activated whenever the car is started.

More than a third of its body features are new, including the entire front end, bonnet, tailgate, rear lights, and its Baltic Blue Grey paintwork.

Under the hood, its full hybrid E-Tech 203bhp powertrain combines a 1.2-litre petrol engine and two electric motors, offering a range of up to 1,100km without charging. The 2025 Espace still has the 4Control Advanced four-wheel steering technology along with 32 new driving aids.

Both driver and passenger can choose from four sunroof positions: Fully transparent, fully opaque, transparent front and opaque rear, or vice versa

Based on Renault's modular CMF-CD platform, it delivers generous onboard space with an exterior length of 4,740mm and an interior length (up to the third row) of 2,780mm. Its boot is easily accessible with its power tailgate coming as standard. The five-seater variant offers between 692 litres to 2,224 litres of boot space, whereas the seven-seater variant offers between 520 litres and 2,054 litres (212 litres with the third bench seat in place).

Three trim levels will be available for the 2025 Espace: Techno, Esprit Alpine, and Iconic. Some of its body parts, such as the radiator grille, will be in a different colour depending on the trim.

Other body colours offered include Midnight Blue, Pearl white, and Starry Black. The Esprit Alpine finish is also available as an option in satin-finish Schist Grey.
